Flight training for every goal — from your first flight to advanced ratings.
Whether you want to fly for fun, earn your first pilot certificate, add an instrument rating, or pursue aviation professionally, Smoketown Flight Center offers flexible training options built around your goals.
The FAA’s new MOSAIC rules recently transformed Sport Pilot flying. The old limitations have changed — Sport Pilots are no longer restricted to the small Light-Sport Aircraft traditionally associated with the certificate.
At Smoketown Flight Center, our entire fixed-wing training fleet is Sport Pilot eligible — including the Pipistrel Alpha, Cessna 150, Cessna 172 and Beechcraft B19.
MOSAIC means Sport Pilot can now be a practical path to flying traditional general-aviation aircraft — not just the light-sport airplanes of the past.
Earn your Private Pilot Certificate and enjoy the freedom to fly for recreation, travel, or as the first step toward advanced ratings.
Train at your own pace with experienced instructors, flexible scheduling, and a diverse training fleet.
Our Pipistrel Alpha combines modern avionics, efficient operation, and Technically Advanced Airplane capability to provide exceptional value across several stages of flight training.
A modern and economical aircraft for pilots taking advantage of expanded Sport Pilot privileges.
Modern avionics and efficient operating costs make the Alpha a value-focused option for earning your Instrument Rating.
Build Technically Advanced Airplane experience without the rental cost traditionally associated with higher-end TAA aircraft.
Train part-time or full-time with scheduling designed around your availability.
Train in aircraft suited for everything from first flights to advanced instrument and commercial training.
